OCaml top-level compiling to native code

Alain Frisch recently announced on the OCaml mailing list that he has successfully added support for dynamic linking of native-code compiled OCaml and, in particular, has used this to make OCaml's interactive top-level compile to native code.

This is a tremendous achievement and greatly improves the performance of interactive OCaml, making it an even better technical computing environment.
